DEEP THOUGHTS - THE ART OF DECISION MAKING

The Art Of Decision making

The
art of decision making is more natural than artistic. It is only when those
decisions are successfully executed
do we attribute artistic qualities to it. Decision making is not new in any
individual’s life. It is an action or
practice we as humans can’t live without. In fact its
importance can be likened to our indispensable need for air to breathe.

However,
even though decision making is a vital component of human activity, there are
times that some decisions made have had adverse effects on us and even the people
around us. Those effects can bring discouragement, frustration, depression especially
if those decision made have accompany stigma attached to it. The effect makes
us scared and very reluctant in future decision making.

The
truth is that just as there is no smoke without fire, so also there must be
mistakes made from decisions which should serve as a lesson. Also just as the
above quote illustrates making a decision not to make a decision means you have
already made a decision to be completely unproductive and redundant in life. You
become deadweight and occupy space.

Moreover, It is in making mistakes when making
decisions and learning from them that
your decision making becomes flawless. This is true for people from all works
of life. Whether it is in our home, businesses, careers, etc. you will always
have to make decisions which may not
going as planned, but
as you continue, you will see that
those mistakes would come to you in different forms and scenarios and this time
around, you will know the right decision to make because you are experienced
and have learned.

Just as I said at the beginning, the art ofdecision making does not mean all round
perfectness. Even artworks with all its appeal still have some flaws in them. So
also is it with decision making. If you have a goal or target, constantly and
consistently, you would always make decisions to reach it. So why get afraid or
reluctant because of one mistake?? If those goals or targets you have set
matters to you, you would rather choose to learn from the mistake than to avoid
it altogether.

The reason why I termed decision making an art is
because art is beautiful and aesthetic and when your decision making reaches a
stage when it’s almost flawless, adaptive and inch-perfect, you would not be
criticized nor corrected for describing it as artistic or work of art. Therefore,
even as a work of art may undergo so many rough stages and processes, also our
decision making would undergo so many harsh realities of life before it can
become beautiful and almost flawless.
